Master of Arts Curriculum Requirements

The master's degree program is 33 credit hours. All the classes are delivered either online or through a blended format with the exception of the Capstone defense, which includes a Friday session in the spring on the Laramie campus. Beginning Fall 2017, we welcome you to take up to six credits of required courses, no exceptions, as a non-degree seeking student. Any hours earned can be transferred into your program of study, if you are admitted into the program (courses taken must be within 4 years of admittance).
